What if your science experiments were so interesting that even an Emperor wanted to know more? In 1806, scientist Ernst Chladni left Germany for a three-year road trip, entertaining Europeans with his science. He made wires, columns of air, and solids vibrate. He wrote about this inhis native German language, but his French scientist friends wanted toread about it in French. How could he get the cash he needed to writehis new book? In February, 1809, Chladni's friends took him to the Tuliere Palace. This elementary science picture book dramatizes theexciting meeting between a German scientist and French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
